You have to read it to believe it.

What a joke.
The guy's name sounds familiar though. Wasn't he a presenter on Cape Talk or 702 at some stage?
The government in NZ has been very clever. They have stopped short of legalising "gay marriage", but same-sex civil unions are now allowed. In addition, all discrimination on the basis of sexuality has been made illegal. (This extends to same-sex adoption.)
There has been much consternation on the part of the political (and religious) right in NZ concerning this. Articles have been written "outing" the PM as gay, and her marriage as a sham. Within the last two weeks, it has been alleged that the PM's husband is also gay. It seems half of the governing party is (admittedly) gay. NZ even has the world's first transexual MP!!!
I love this country. They call NZ "Godzone" ("God's own country"). Geez, it turns out Godzone is run by poofs. (It's God's will.) And so what if it is? They are doing a damn good job in my opinion.
The article b posted a link to is, unfortunately, not very extraordinary. I would read stuff like this every week, from people who rally against homosexuality but do nothing about the paedophilia rampant in their own religious institutions.
Finally, the argument that homosexuality just isn't "natural" doesn't carry any weight when it is wielded by shit-for-brains creationists who think that the world was created in 7 days some 44,000 years ago. You can't have your Darwin and eat it to. Nor does the argument that homosexuality is a sin against God. If God was so smart, he would have made penises and anuses physically incompatible, or else would have simply done away with homosexual urges altogether. (Yes, it is specifically the sodomy that Christians seem to have a problem with, even within same-sex unions. It's "yucky".)
Can you tell that this is something I feel strongly about? Again, I'm glad to live in a country that thumbs its nose at the bigots.
